Our Top Online Courses to Benefit Survivors of Rape & Sexual Abuse

If you’ve seen our Help Directory – you can find it here – you’ll have noticed our promotion of online learning. In the Directory, we recognise that Survivors need help and support in different ways and through doing that, we can see that online learning can be so beneficial for the mental health, coping skills, and emotional wellbeing of Survivors. This is the case because often, the Courses provide reassurance that the Survivor who is studying it isn’t alone, that there is hope out there, that there are safe coping skills, and that gaining an education can be really bolstering of your confidence and general understanding of what has happened to you…
